"I think her direction is extraordinary. I had my mouth open. I said, 'Holy smokes. This is really something.' She's a director that I'd say I want to work with her," Voight said at Vanity Fair's Oscars party.

The actor also slammed the Oscars for snubbing Jolie's name from the best director nominations list.

"I think the nominations were mostly right. They don't get everybody. I'd like to have seen my daughter's film get a few more nominations," he said.

'Unbroken' was nominated for three awards including Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing at the 87th Academy Awards.
